Informix Corp. (Menlo Park, Calif.,

When the purchase is complete, Red Brick's R&D, marketing and data warehouse consulting organizations will be folded into Informix's data warehousing division. Informix said it intends to sell and support the Red Brick product portfolio, and to integrate the products into the Informix Decision Frontier product line. --Michele Rosen, Staff Reporter, New York Correspondent
